Welcome to another HITBH! If you came from Jaimie's site, I'm glad you are continuing the hop. If you haven't then I hope you'll continue to hop using my links below. No matter what, I'm glad you're here. Today we have a sketch challenge and here is what I created for it...
and here is our sketch...
As you can see, I flipped the sketch. I think it has something to do with Feng Shui. I just felt more energy with the sentiment on the right rather than on the left.
My card base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4") is the new 2022-2024 In Color, Orchid Oasis Cardstock. You'll be able to see it in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog on May 3. With my iPhone camera, the colors did not come out true to life, unfortunately.
I dry embossed a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.
Next I stamped a piece of Basic White with a stamp from the Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set, using Basic Gray ink. I colored the leaves with my Light and Dark Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends, another new In Color, which is a lime green. Oh, how I love that color! It's similar to Lemon Lime Twist that retired a few years back.
I colored the centers of the flowers with my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I had the little four dot stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set sitting on my desk so I inked it up in Orchid Oasis ink and stamped it three times. I adhered it to my embossed panel with liquid glue. I ran a piece of the upcoming Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon around that and secured it on the back with tape. Then I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.
The sentiment, from the Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set, is stamped in Daffodil Delight on a scrap of Basic White and cut out with a die from the Give It a Whirl Dies, which have carried over to the new catalog, along with the the Hand Penned Petals...so thankful for that!! I adhered it with mini Dimensionals. I colored three Pearl Basic Jewels with my Dark Orchid Oasis Stampin' Blends to finish the card front.
The inside is simple with the flower stamp, another sentiment from Hand Penned Petals and a mat of Parakeet Party Cardstock.
